Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakeology Mug Cake

I can't believe that its taken me THIS long to finally give this recipe a try! 

Seriously, this is by far an amazing way to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you from falling off the wagon and blowing your clean eating plan.




Ingredients:

• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology (I like vegan, but either will do!)
• 1 Tbs sweetener of your choice (honey or agave) OPTIONAL
• Dash of salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp natural almond butter

Directions

• Lightly greasy a mug with coconut oil
• In the mug, mix in 1 scoop of Shakeology, baking powder, salt and sweetner.
• Mix in 1 egg and enough water to make mix moist.
• Add 1 tsp of almond butter and push it into the center.

I didn't use any sweetener in mine and it tasted just fine!

Microwave for 55-90 seconds depending on how moist you like your cake. If you like if more like a lava cake less time does the trick. For more cake like consistency microwave for longer.

This is so chocolatey and rich that one serving is MORE than enough!

#SummerStrong!

Like it or not the weather has begun to HEAT up! And if its not warm where you are yet, don't worry. It WILL be! In LESS than 57 days Memorial Day will be upon us. How crazy is THAT? And pretty soon we'll be digging out the shorts, the tanks, the flip flops and of course the bathing suits!

 I can recall a time not so long ago that I used to DRED digging out those summer clothes. Some years the ONLY things that fit me comfortably and confidently were my FLIP FLOPS! But I have fortunately changed ALL of that and no longer worry about wearing my favorite summer outfits and I am on a MISSION to help others get ready for summer too!

 I am on a mission to help other busy MOMS of young kids to transform their bodies and their nutrition so that YOU too can begin to feel more confident, have a positive self body image, and of course energy so you can keep up with the demands of a busy life!!!

Throw away the "I'm too busy" excuse. There are TONS of programs that 30 or minutes or less. Including 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Hammer and Chisel and 22 Minute Hard Corps. And each program comes with an amazing nutrition piece that includes portion controlled containers and meal plans and recipes that are fool proof.

When I started my journey I:

• worked out for 30 minutes a day in my garage
•  I had a 2 year old and a 4 year old
• I was (and still am) a full time stay at home mom and the primary care giver
• We lived on a limited budget so we didn't have a TON to spend on groceries and exercise programs

But I wanted to feel amazing and keep up with my kids! I was willing to make a small sacrifice of getting up an hour early everyday to workout at home.

Don't wait until May to start working out and working towards those health and fitness goals! Start now! It takes 4-6 weeks to really begin to see the effects of eating right and exercise.

So what I am going to do for you is this:

1.  I want to help you with meal planning, healthy recipes, motivation and tips.  

2.  I am going to share with you what I did to lose 20 lbs in 63 days, to create a healthier lifestyle not just for myself but for our family too.

3.  Give you tools to make your workouts a lifestyle change vs a crash diet.

4.  Help you with quick easy, on the go meals and snacks for your lifestyle.

5.  Give you sample meal plans to help with the planning.

6.  A place to stay accountable with daily check ins and tips specific to the things that come up in every day life.  How to handle eating out at restaurants, late night cravings, parties, and vacations.

Starting on the 18th of April I am launching the #SUMMERSTRONG support and accountability group.  This group will take place on the newest challenge tracker app which you join through me as your coach.  I will match you up with a fitness program and nutrition plan that meets your needs.  We will set realistic and achievable goals and together we will set out to take it 1 day at a time and change your old habits into newer and healthier ones!!!

So if this sounds like something you would like to do the next step is to complete the application below.  This will help me to make personalized recommendations based on your needs and wants.

**Note if you already work actively with a coach please do not apply. This is for my new and current customers only.

And finally as the days get shorter and cooler, I’d like to share a great crockpot/slow cooker recipe that I’m sure your whole family will love.

Pineapple Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

•1 lb of pork tenderloin

•1 bag of frozen pineapple chunks

•1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

Place the pork tenderloin in the bottom of the crockpot then add the pineapple and the peppers on top of it.  Set it to low and let it cook until the pork is no longer pink and it should start to actually pull apart a little bit.

That’s it – it’s easy!  You can easily add other veggies to this if you want.  The pineapple and the juice from the pork tenderloin is all I needed.  21 Day Fix Conversion: This is a red container and part of a purple and a green.  That’s it!  I served it with brown rice and sautéed red and green peppers.

If you have any questions or are interested in ANY of the awesome programs Beachbody has to offer, let me know. You can go over to my like page Inspire Fitness and message me, email me at melindabutkus@gmail.com or hit me up on Facebook, Melinda Davidson Butkus.

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

So as many of you may know, last week I did the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse. I had mentioned before on Facebook that I had attempted to do this 3 or 4 times before but would always get hungry and quit about 1/2 way through the first day.

Well last week I was finally able to successfully complete the ENTIRE 3 days! My motivation was a wedding I was attending and wanted to feel great for it. So this time I was determined and focused and ready to get it done! Since I was drinking Shakeology 3 times a day with this cleanse I wasn't at all worried about not getting enough nutrients for my body or starving myself. I love my Shakeology and I drink it every single day. I know there's nothing out there that can supply me with all the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in these amounts the way Shakeology can.

Photo booth fun at the reception!

I started on a Monday only because its easier for me to avoid the temptations of eating out or cheating during the work week. Basically on this plan you do the following:

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: Shakeology, 8 ounces of water, ice and 1/2 cup of fruit blended
Mid-morning: 1 piece of fruit
Lunch: Shakeology blended with water and ice only, followed by 1 cup of green tea
*PM Snack: HERE or AFTER DINNER- Shakeology blended with water and ice only
Dinner: 3 servings of greens with 4 ounces of protein (grilled chicken breast or white fish) with 2 Tbsp of non dairy dressing
Water: 64-128 ounces daily. No dairy!

Day 1

Day 1 was pretty good. I got in my Total Body Cardio Fix 21 Day Fix workout and followed it up with a cup of green tea. On day 1 I decided to have my afternoon snack mid afternoon simply because I was HUNGRY. Big mistake! By 8:00 p.m. I was pretty much ready to chew my arm off and was starting to get a headache so I called it a night early and went to bed before I blew my entire day.

Day 2

 I was starting to feel fatigued on day 2. Got up and did Upper Fix from my 21 Day Fix workout and it wasn't my best day by any means. I didn't struggle too bad, I just couldn't lift my heaviest weights. So I kicked it down a notch and got it done. I actually felt better after my workout and wasn't quite as tired feeling as when I initially woke up.

I decided that I would save my afternoon snack for after dinner so I wouldn't get quite as hungry in the evenings and this worked out really well for me. However, I was tired during the day and was more than ready to move on to day 3.

Day 3

I was starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel and I was feeling REALLY good! I skipped my Lower Fix workout on this day  because I didn't want to fatigue myself. Not really that hungry throughout the day on day 3 but by dinner I was starving! I did feel a little tired but it felt like I had been up most of the night with a sick kiddo. So it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

I drank at least 80 ounces of water each day. This didn't include the water in my tea or my Shakeology.

Feeling great in my dress!

Day 4

DONE! I stepped on the scale after my workout and was down 7 lbs! I knew that some of was water weight but I was good with that. That meant I wouldn't look bloated or feel uncomfortable in my dress. Water weight can really leave you feeling miserable! I have since kept off 4 of the 7 lbs.



I would definitely do this again but if you're not comfortable with being hungry or feel like feeling hungry would trigger a major cheat, I would stick with the 3 Day Refresh. The Refresh uses a product called Vanilla Fresh which is made with potato protein. Potato protein has been clinically proven to help fight hunger and make you feel full. This will keep you from feeling too hungry. In addition, 3 Day Refresh also incorporates Fiber Sweep, which helps with regularity if you're body isn't used to consuming a lot of fiber in foods. Another advantage to the 3 Day Refresh is that you wont blow through your Shakeology stash. If you drink Shakeology everyday, you wont get 30 days of servings from one bag because you're drinking 9 servings in 3 days. However, if you have a stash (like we do) then its not a problem!

Ice Cream and a Cookbook?

So here we are in the beginning stages of summer! Our next few weeks are pretty busy. But that's only because this mama is volunteering for our church Vacation Bible School which kicks off June 15th. And there is SOOO much to do beforehand!

And with summer comes my family's fascination with ice cream. My family (yes, this does include me) could eat ice cream pretty much everyday. And not just once a day either. So while my husband and the kids get their ice cream fill I opt for a healthier alternative made with Shakeology.

VANILLA PEANUT BUTTER BANANA ICE CREAM

•  1 cup nonfat milk (or unsweetened almond milk) 
•  2 scoops Vanilla Shakeology 
•  2 medium frozen bananas (cut into chunks before freezing) 
•  2 Tbsp. all-natural smooth peanut butter 

Optional add ins: 2 Tbsp chocolate chips, mint extract, unsweetened coconut

 Preparation: 

 1. Place milk, Shakeology, bananas, and peanut butter in high-powered blender (such as a Vita-Mix); cover. 

 2. Blend on low for 5 seconds; increase power to high and continue blending for 30 seconds until smooth. 

 3. Pour mixture in a large glass bowl; cover. 

 4. Freeze for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, before serving.

My own results after ONLY 18 days of 21 Day Fix!

And I just got the deets on some pretty amazing news! As you may know, my go to nutrition program is the 21 Day Fix eating guide. Regardless of whatever workout I'm doing my eating is guided by the 21 Day Fix program. If I am doing a more intense workout such a P90X3 or Insanity I just adjust my calories and add a few more containers so I'm not going hungry but STILL getting great results.

I've also done a lot of work tweaking family favorites to make them 21 Day Fix friendly and then figuring out the container conversions to make sure I stick to my portions. But now there's an ENTIRE cookbook that Autumn has created that does ALL of this for you!

Her cookbook has over 100 recipes that are 21 Day Fix and 21 DAy Fix Extreme friendly! What does that mean? That means she has recipes in her cookbook that include the container conversions for YOU! Soups, stews, snacks, on the go breakfasts, lunches and dinners. She even included "cheats" and cocktails! Because this program is NOT about elimination, it's all about moderation!

And did you know that Autumn's brother is a chef? Yup, he sure is! So she worked closely with her brother to come up with simple and great tasting recipes. Have you ever looked at a great looking recipe, only to look at the ingredients list and think "what the heck is THAT?  and where do I have to go to find it?". Well not with these. All of the recipes require ingredients that you can easily find in your local grocery store.  Each recipe comes with detailed instructions, nutritional info and they indicate if they are paleo, gluten free, vegan or vegetarian!



You can get a sneak peak of 5 recipes here on the Team Beachbody blog! 








This cookbook will not be released until July 14th. But here's the BEST NEWS ever!!! I'll be leaving for Summit on July 15th and you'd better believe that I plan on getting my hands on a copy or two as soon as I check in to the hotel.

And if you purchase one of the following Challenge Pack programs from me during the month of June, I will bring you back a copy of the cookbook for FREE! And did you also know that I'm offering $10.00 cash back to any NEW challenger that purchases a challenge pack from during the month of June as well? Yup, it's true! And last but not least ALL 21 Day Fix and Fix Extreme Challenge packs are on sale this month! Talk about DEEP discounts! But you can only get these offers from me. As well as access to my June 15th Challenge Group.

Hello Summer!

I am so excited! The pool is almost ready, my 5 year old is done with Pre-K for the year and

Memorial Day Weekend in right around the corner!  Who doesn't LOVE this unofficial summer season kick off?

However, with this weekend comes the burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, cole slaw and all things barbecue and picnic related. Which can also pack on the pounds. While one "bad" meal won't make you gain weight it's sure hard to avoid the summer favorites throughout the ENTIRE summer. And I seriously love potato salad. And I didn't even begin to mention the ice cream...

So here are my tips and tricks for keeping clean eating in check and not falling into the mayo laden, loaded burger summer pitfalls.

Enjoy In Season Fruits and Veggies

The BEST thing about summer (besides lazy days by the pool) is all of the fresh summer produce. One of my favorite ways to eat more vegetables is fill up on a delicious vegetable kabob prepared on the grill. You could even add some shrimp or chicken for some protein.

Fresh fruit such as pineapple can add a little flair to your kabob. My favorite is mushrooms, green peppers and pineapples. Have you thought about throwing some watermelon on your grill? (be sure to keep an eye on your watermelon as its high water content can cause it to burn) How about peaches? Strawberries? One way to really add some unique flair to your next barbecue is offer fresh fruit kabobs as a dessert. Set out a bowl of fruit and have guests skewer their own combinations. My kids particularly love this as they can add whatever fruits they like.



Summer Salads

Since we're talking summer season foods lets not forget salads! But they don't have to be those ho hum garden kids! Cucumbers with Roma tomatoes marinated in balsamic vinegar is one of my favorites as is a wonderful cucumber salad with onions and a light marinade. Tabbouleh is a wheat salad that is delicious when prepared chilled and with olive oil, diced tomatoes, lemon juice and mint.






Burgers Aren't Just Beef!

There are TONS of options for your burger choices if you're avoiding beef. Pre-made turkey burgers are a great alternative as are salmon burgers or even grilled chicken! All of these options can be put on a multi-grain bun, topped with lettuce, tomatoes (or even a slice of cheese). And again fruit can really spice up a burger! Is beef the only option? Opt for one that is the correct portion size or simply cut one in half! I do try to avoid chips whenever possible but a small serving will be just fine to keep it to a minimum.

Just One Please...

Serving of starch that is! Keep starches to a minimum. Love corn on the cob or chips? Choose one and then wrap your burger in lettuce. Holding out for those cupcakes or strawberry shortcake? Skip the starches all together, fill up on protein and vegetables and save that starch for dessert.

Water, Water Everywhere

Try to avoid sweet sugary drinks. Not only will these make you even more thirsty, they easily pack on the pounds. My biggest tip, always have a cup of water in your hand. This will not only keep your hands busy and occupied and out of the snack foods, it will help keep you fuller so you wont be tempted to overeat when it comes to meal time.

Stay Active!

The point of living a healthier lifestyle is not about eliminating all of the things you LOVE! Its about moderation and balance. And if I know I'm going to be indulging, I make it a point to get my workout done first thing in the morning (I've even been known to throw in an extra 10 minute ab workout or even an extra walk around the block). Even participating in a little extra backyard fun can help burn those extra calories. Tag with the kids, hide and go seek or even a quick game of Frisbee can burn calories. Ask friends if they'd like to take a quick walk around the block after the barbecue. Its a great way to continue to socialize with friends while getting in some extra steps.

I will even work with you to help you find a workout that you'll love and will fit your lifestyle. Remember, its not about elimination, its all about moderation!

Whats a Challenge Group??

I'm pretty excited right now! I have 14 weeks until I leave for Nashville TN to attend Summit. In Beachbody land this is the time when coaches travel from all across the country to attend workshops, network, meet and workout with Beachbody's celebrity trainers and of course celebrate successes!

Looking at the calendar, I just realized I have EXACTLY enough time to do 1 round of P90X3 and fit in 1 final round of 21 Day Fix Extreme. And while this leaves me feeling a little overwhelmed, I know that the key to my completing these programs and getting great results will be my challenge groups.


One of the #1 questions I am asked when I'm sharing what I do with others is "What is a Challenge Group?" Challenge groups are totally unique to Beachbody and for me, was the key to my success with losing weight. To this day, the challenge groups that I run help me maintain my fitness goals AND push me to continue to set new goals.

During my first challenge group I had incredible support. Someone to be accountable to and if I was struggling, others to lift me up to help keep me motivated and inspired. I can specifically remember a day when I didn't want to press play. I posted my question about taking a rest day in my group and immediately got responses. Reasons to get in my 30 minutes, challengers just like me telling me that it was ONLY 30 minutes, reminding me of the reason I started this journey in the first place and great advice from my coach about getting to the REAL reason I felt like I needed to "rest".

 My challenge group was there when I had a day with 2 sick kids, doctors appointments and nothing healthy ready to eat for dinner. In the past I would have driven to the closest fast food restaurant just because I was tired and it was convenient. When I posted my struggle in the my group, fellow challengers helped me figure out what I could cook in a jiffy that was stress free, used what I had in the house AND followed my 21 Day Fix clean eating plan.

So ask yourself these questions:

Do you need some help staying motivated and accountable to your health and fitness goals?
Do you want to lose weight but don't know where to start?
Are you the type of person that needs someone constantly telling you what to do so you do it?
Do you enjoy working out with others?
Do you just want to maintain your body and learn how to eat healthier?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, a challenge group might just be what you need to help you reach those fitness goals.

FAQ's

Do Challenge Groups Meet in Person?

• No.  Beachbody challenge groups are entirely done online, on a private Facebook page.

• Typically in each group there are 5-25 others people all working toward their health and fitness goals, Sometimes the groups are geared toward everyone doing the same program such as 21 Day Fix or Insanity. Other times it's a mixed group where challengers are doing a variety of different programs.

How do I Become a Part of a Challenge Group?

• To be a participant in my challenge group, every person must purchase a Beachbody Challenge pack program. Included in your challenge pack is the program of your choice and a 30 day supply of Shakeology. Challenge packs are DEEPLY discounted in order for you to get the best value for your money.

21 Day Fix Extreme... The Nutrtion Plan

 I have to be honest, after I did the coach sneak peak workout on Saturday morning, I wasn't all THAT excited about this program and couldn't quite figure out what the buzz was all about. But then I listened to the Beachbody Coach National Call and heard it straight from Autumn Calabrese herself. And let me tell you I am now seriously considering getting this program when its launched on February 2nd.

When describing this program overall Autumn said "I created this program to get you seriously shredded in the shortest time possible. It’s a breakthrough 21-day fitness and nutrition program that combines simple portion control, focused nutrition, and extreme 30-minute workouts to help you finally get the lean, defined, hard body you’ve always wanted".

Who is this program for?
According to Autumn Calabrese this program is " for people with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline like a big event, vacation or photo shoot. It’s also for 21 Day Fix graduates or graduates of other extreme programs like P90X^®, INSANITY^® and FOCUS T25^®. The next group is those who don’t have much weight to lose, but just want to shred up and see their abs. Lastly, this program is for people who don't want to count calories, weigh their food or follow complicated recipes. It was designed to make losing weight and getting shredded simple. Just follow the Extreme Eating Plan and get ready to see serious results!"

So how is this program different from 21 Day Fix?
The food lists have been changed. Some things from the lists have been eliminated and other more nutrient dense foods have been added. Cheats have been eliminated. That means no chocolate, no wine. The nutrition component of this workout is a lot more dialed in. This program also comes with 2 different meal plans. The "regular" everyday 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan and also Autumn's "Countdown to Competition" meal plan. This is the exact meal plan Autumn uses 21 days before a figure competition or a photo shoot. According to Autumn "It’s my secret to shed fat and lean out every inch of my body. When you have to look great and have only 21 days to do it, this is the plan for you. I follow it when a big competition or photo shoot is coming up. It's a tough mental challenge, but so worth it."

The Workouts
Weights are incorporated into EVERY workout. Even Pilates uses resistance bands. There is an upper day, lower day, Pilates day, cardio days and an active recovery yoga day. There is high impact but there are modifiers for all workouts and you can take the high impact out and make it low impact.

This program is results driven, meaning that if you stick to the meal plan and do the workouts for 21 days you will see results. This program is for people that are ready to see serious results in terms of muscle definition and weight loss.

Are you ready to get the best results of your life in only 21 days? You can ONLY get this program through a Team Beachbody coach.  I am inviting you to be a part of the first group of the general public to use this program, in my upcoming 21 Day Fix Extreme Challenge Group. The test group  will begin on February 9th.

21 Day Fix Extreme Sneak Peek!

Happy Saturday!

I just got done completing the all new 21 Day Fix Extreme Dirty 30 Workout. As coach that is part of the #1 Team in the company and under the direction of the #1 coach in the company these are perks I LIVE for!

 Autumn Calabrese, celebrity trainer that brought us 21 Day Fix is back with 21 Day Fix Extreme. This workout is scheduled to launch on Monday February 2nd and there's quite the buzz about this program and the results that the first test group got.

I was up and at 'em at 5:00 a.m. along with 37 other coaches via Zoom to get my Dirty 30 Extreme on to see what this buzz is all about. Dirty 30 Extreme consisted of 3 rounds, 4 moves each round and each move was with weights. Most of the moves are combination moves which increases your body's ability to burn more fat. Side lunges with arm raises, squats with a should press, etc.

I've been doing P90X3 for almost 4 weeks now and after doing Dirty 30 Extreme, my arms are shaky and my legs are already starting to get sore (particularly my ham strings) as I type this 1 hour after my workout. If you've done Dirty 30 or Upper Fix, then you know how much Autumn likes to work shoulders. This workout is no different! Lots of shoulder and core work for sure.

If you're ready to take your fitness to the next level or have gotten bored with 21 Day Fix, then 21 Day Fix Extreme is just what you're looking for. The 30 minutes flew by and I was surprised it was already over when we started the cool down. These "extreme" workouts paired with Autumn's nutrition plan will definitely get you the results you are looking for.

If you're a fan of Autumns, there's no need to be afraid of this workout! Its quick and challenging just enough to leave you with a "good kind of sore" the next day. And with all of the Beachbody workouts there is a modifier.

The Challenge Pack comes with all of the workouts PLUS color coded portion control containers, Autumn's Countdown to Competition Eating Guide, 21 Day Fix Extreme Eating Guide, bonus DVD's as well your 30 day supply of Shakeology and a shaker cup. And the BEST part of all is that this Challenge Pack will launch at a great price!

If you have questions about the 21 Day Fix Extreme and would like to get in on my exclusive test group message me or comment. The group begins on Monday February 2 and space is extremely limited!
